RE: DC not working?
Exchange requires access to the GC in order to function. Michelle -Original Message- From: Jim Dandy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 10, 2008 2:55 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: DC not working? 1) I'm using RPC over HTTPS to connect to my Exchange server. 2) I have both front end and back end Exchange 2003 servers. 3) I have two DCs (server 2003). I rebooted one of my DCs and lost connectivity to mail while the DC was rebooting. Does that mean that the other DC which was up was not working properly? Note: the DC that was rebooted is handling all 5 of the FSMO roles and it is the Global Catalog server. Perhaps RPC over HTTPS needs one of the FSMO roles or the GC to function? Can someone clarify?

You need to make both of those DCs into GCs. Regards, Michael B.

RE: DC not working?
I've noticed this in my environment also but I've always had both my DC's as GC's. Yet still when I reboot my Primary DC my Exchange connectivity still fails. From what I've read the GC is the only thing Exchange cares about for connectivity and your suppose to leave the FSMO roles on the first DC. Could it just be the DC that's gets rebooted isn't down long enough for Exchange to start looking at the other one before the first comes back up. Or should Exchange jump straight to the secondary and you shouldn't receive any timeouts at all? -Original Message- From: Michael B.

RE: DC not working?
Worst case should be 15 minutes (that's the default resync interval) unless you have manually overridden the DSAccess routines (on the Directory Services tab of the Server Property sheet in ESM).
